Our Vision
Ampoh Foundation envisions a future where individuals with developmental and/or physical disabilities, and the needy have: opportunities to live healthy, safe and enjoyable lives, services and supports of the highest quality, promotion of independence and dignity, active participation in decision making, active integration into residing in neighboring communities, loving relationships with families, friends and neighbors, respect for who they are within the communities, freedom to live free of physical and institutional barriers, loyal, fair and equal opportunity work environment, system-wide and personal advocacy to promote a better quality of life.
Our Values
Ampoh Foundation sees life with all of its challenges, as a task to overcome with the belief that individuals with disabilities and the needy should be treated with respect, compassion and dignity. In Ghana, those with disabilities are treated as if they have bad omens and are often blamed for death in the villages, infertility, failed harvests, and family poverty. People with disabilities and the needy should exercise their right to personal choice and make meaningful decisions. Ideas, priorities and solutions would be developed collectively with these individuals and their families. Services would embody a lifespan approach and respective of individual goals, wants and needs. All facilities would be barrier free, accessible and safe. Recreational opportunities are essential to the overall enhancement of people with disabilities and the needy.
